Pure Pwnage
Pure Pwnage. One of the greatest shows to ever be released on the Internet. For those who have not seen Pure Pwnage, get out from behind your rock (seriously). Pure Pwnage could be described as an internet mockumentary loosely based on the life of a "pro gamer".
It follows Jeremy and a bunch of other characters- Dave, Doug, Kyle, T-Bag, and teh_masterer. The first ever episode was released 11 May 2004, and the last episode was released on 23 August 2008 (Episode 18).
In December 2008, Terrence Brown, who played the character T-Bag sadly passed away, and there were months on end that the future of Pure Pwnage was being doubted due to the lack of announcements on their website.
In June 2009, we found out that Geoff Lapaire (who played Kyle) would no longer directing and editing the show.
After much wait, a couple days ago "Project X" the dubbed name for a new development by ROFLMAO Productions was announced as a tv show that will be broadcast on a Canadian Channel named Showcase next year (2010). The following video was post with the announcement:
I'm very excited about this new tv show and I'm glad that things are starting to happen again with Pure Pwnage. Another new development, being a Pure Pwnage web game will be released in beta form this month as well (as per another prior announcement).
It is aired in Canada? How will you get it Horo2?
ReplyDeletePurepwnage game what it will be? tetris? headshotting people?
I would assume they would put the episode up on the pure pwnage website after it has been aired on the Canadian channel.
ReplyDeletePure Pwnage has over 3 million viewers worldwide, so I don't think they would abandon international fans.
Not sure what the Pure Pwnage game will be about. We'll just have to wait and see.
